The Piano Player
Location
As her fingers dance across the piano keys
I can hear her life story
Her loneliness from a lost love
It switches to anger then abruptly changes
To a jubilant tune
Bach, Mozart, Pachelbel flowing beneath the keys
Oh the sweet ivory saves her
It gives her something to live for
As she plays I find myself nodding along
I'm tapping my foot
One two three, two two three
Three two three, four two three
I count along with her
She catches my eye and smiles a tight smile
Then speeds up the tempo
The astosphere quickly becomes somber
As the ominous tone encases us
She slows down and leaves off on a happy note
It provides a false sense of security
As the last note resounds through the buliding
Everything is silent then it errups into appaluse
We stand at the same time
I catch her eye again but it is just my reflection
The piano player is just me
